Healer dead, group wiped
Group giving me grief.

Never had a situation like that? It\\\\\\'s happened to me a few times. Personally I just write it off as shit happens because I\\\\\\'ve been playing MMOs since they were a thing but I can imagine there are lots of people out there who would let this stress them right out. Let people play how they want to and if they aren't comfortable dpsing then so what? Your run takes 5 more mins. It could be worse, you could get a healer who does nothing but dps and people die lots.
I don't care if the run takes 5 or 10 more minutes. When a healer stands around doing nothing for 80% of the run because all they do is heal is insulting and unfair to the other players. If a DPS is min-ilevel and the run takes longer because of that? Fine by me, they need to gear up. If a DPS is well geared and doesn't try to get max damage or even worse the ice mage? Kick. min-ilevel tank losing aggro all the time to geared DPS? Not a problem. well geared tank losing aggro all the time and not mitigating damage? kick.

This thread and others like it need to stop. If you're not comfortable playing your class even close to it's potential, then pick another class to play. Check youtube and watch any of the videos on BLMs or SMNs keeping the party alive after a healer hits the floor. Watch tanks and DPS run down boss fights while the healer stands around outside petting their fairy.

Heal-only healers and Tank-only tanks are part of the reason why healers and tanks get shit on and it's unfair to healers and tanks that try to maximize their efficiency and make the run smooth and fast. I'm not asking you to be savage raid-tier good, but make an effort.
